50 Best Sushi Bars near Passaic

“Great Food!!😀 Nice sushi!“

“Food is delicious! Our waiter (Juan) made some amazing recommendations, and we loved them!“

“If you love sushi and want a dining experience, I highly recommend trying Genki Omakase. They have two branches, both highly rated, and my husband and I had such an amazing dinner here.

It’s a 15-course omakase, where the chefs curate each dish for you and every single bite was exceptional. Sitting at the counter and watching the chefs expertly prepare everything right in front of you made the experience feel so immersive and special. The pacing and flow between each course was seamless and the service was impressively fast without ever feeling rushed.

They also have some standout à la carte options (especially the Kissing roll with wagyu, toro, caviar and foie gras). Absolutely unforgettable. My personal favorite from the omakase was the O’Toro topped with caviar and a delicate dusting of gold, but honestly, every bite was memorable.

They only seat a small number of guests, so I’d definitely recommend making a reservation in advance. Such a beautiful dining experience from start to finish.“

“Just awesome. Fast. Efficient. Great.“

“My daughter chose this for a birthday dinner. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was fantastic. Audrey was our server. She was extremely knowledgeable of the menu, made great recommendations, she was there when we needed her without being there too often. I would highly recommend Rosella Sushi. Can’t wait to get back to New York City and return for a meal here. It also makes it extra cool when Chef Jeff is wearing a Florida Gator hat!“

“Sushi onakase Shinzo best“

“Absolutely amazing food was delicious and the attention of the staff unique.“

“The food was wonderful and the ambiance lovely. The service pretty attentive and cheerful. But the desserts were overpriced and not worth it. Try the udon noodle with mushroooms. . yumm.“

“Excellent sushi!!!! Fresh fish. Amazing food.“

“Creative, fresh and delicious.“

“Excellent experience the food was amazing. The service was out of this world. It was impeccable.“

“This was my second omakase experience, and it was absolutely wonderful. The fish was exceptionally fresh, and every bite was perfect. The chef was warm, kind, and engaging, making the experience not only delicious but also genuinely happy and memorable.“

“Best sushi we’ve ever had! Chicken gyoza was so good. Udon bowl was incredible. Spicy tuna, avocado roll and yellowtail scallion were top notch. Service was amazing. What a find for a meal prior to a concert at Terminal 5. Fantastic pricing as well! Highly recommend.“

“I usually don’t leave reviews, but Sushi Yolo definitely deserves one!

I decided to treat myself to celebrate the end of my doctorate program. It was a totally spontaneous decision, so I didn’t spend much time choosing a place. I opened Resy, typed “sushi midtown,” picked one of the top-rated spots, and honestly—I’m so glad I chose Sushi Yolo.

The food was great, but what really made the night special was Alex, the host. He was incredibly attentive and welcoming. I ended up having such a fun and meaningful conversation with him and another guest, Jerry—which is rare for me since I don’t usually talk to strangers. We talked about all kinds of things, and the vibe was just so easy and genuine.

Alex also kept pouring complimentary sake on the house, which was such a generous and thoughtful touch. This is one of those nights I’ll definitely remember—the atmosphere, the food, the conversations, and the company.

Thank you, Alex, for the amazing hospitality and real conversations. You and Jerry truly made my night.

I’ll definitely be back to this lovely restaurant soon.

Wishing you all the best on your journey with your husband!“

“Chef Andy was excellent!👍“

“Haven’t eaten this well since I was last actually in Japan late 2019 before you know what! Loved the Korean flavoured belly pork.“

“I SWEAR THIS IS WORTH THE PRICE !! The attention is amazing, 2 chefs working right in front of you and food is ready sooo quick. The sushi is URGH amazing, super creative and everyone around me told me this had been their favourite omakase yet. NOTHING could have made this better, it was an amazing place, quality food and great chefs.“

“The girl who attended us was incredibly kind and patient, explaining everything with such care that it made the whole experience feel even more special. And the chef… What a wonderful person. Friendly, warm, and genuinely passionate about his craft. He explained each piece with detail.“

“Nice atmosphere and music, perfect for pleasant conversation, fresh ingredients, nice flavorful pairings. The sushi was very fresh. My only criticism was that the hand rolls are served with the seaweed in plastic wrappers, which makes eating the rolls a bit clumsy as you wrestle with the roll to pull off the plastic wrap. Otherwise was a great meal and would recommend.“

“Sushi was amazing. My daughter is allergic to soy and our waiter was very helpful! Service was very good.“

“I happened to walk past this window and noticed this little restaurant. Since the next seating hadn’t started yet, I was the first one to sit down and got a unique experience. I was able to watch the chef prepare the ingredients from start to finish — you could truly see how fresh everything was.

They were very friendly and even offered me complimentary sake. The food was delicious, and the flavor combinations were perfectly balanced.

Next time, I’m definitely bringing my friends with me.“

“The omakase was soo good. Definitely recommend the golden ducky“

“Always Craveable 🥂🍣🍞
A special Sunday brunch at the sushi counter where the entire experience was effortless. From the attentive service and finesse of the fresh sushi to the spectacular talent across the kitchen, the passion here makes the quality truly superb.

A highlight of the Mother’s Day brunch was the special Matcha French Toast—a beautiful treat for the palate and a total standout. The touches of Pommery bubbles and fresh flowers made the celebration feel truly memorable.

Happy 1st Anniversary! 🥂
Cheers to Oliver & the kitchen, Joseph, Nick & team for an incredible first year. The care that goes into every plate is unmistakable. In a city filled with endless options, the heart and creativity here are exactly what make this spot a true nabe gem.

Relish and enjoy the moment—navigating year one is a remarkable accomplishment. Keep inspiring everyone, because the best is yet to come.

Thanks for making our month & see you all soon! 🥂✨

—————Prior Review April 2026—————
10/10 All Around! 🥂✨

Unwinding with a little Friday sparkle and some indulgent nibbles… fabulous as always. The chu-toro tartare with truffle dashi & caviar is always a must-have—paired with Pommery bubbles.

Nick is such a fabulous host! He seamlessly accommodated a last-minute request to pair wines with the tasting menu and expertly guided our move from the bubbles to white wine, sake, and finishing with a perfect red, sharing great insights on each pour, which we all absolutely loved. He was so thoughtful and even provided small tastings for our non-drinking friend so she could experience the flavors!

The Chef’s Tasting Menu was exceptional again, with a great variety of sashimi and sushi. I also couldn’t resist adding some of my favorites: the uni sashimi, seared scallop with uni, and the seared toro—the latter has a fabulous new twist too.

Huge thanks to Nick, all the chefs and kitchen team, the bartender, and the staff for the usual incredible care!

See you all soon!

Prior Review - April 2026
Back at this neighborhood gem—as Nick so perfectly puts it, my little reprieve from the hustle & bustle of NYC. I just found out my review is still stuck in the OpenTable moderation queue since 3/22, so I’m resorting to Google Reviews! (Honestly, this platform is much more seamless and faster.)

During a hectic night, Joseph went above and beyond—from walking us through the tasting menu to ensuring the butter lettuce was paired with the chicken dish! Costas kept everything running smoothly.

The tasting menu is fabulous—kudos to Oliver and the kitchen for the elegant presentation on every dish. The broccolini with caramelized hazelnuts is a standout, with no leftovers to spare. Sitting at the sushi counter watching Andy meticulously craft a full sea bream was a surprise highlight, and Dong provided such amazing and skillful sushi preparation throughout the night. The add-ons for the Chu-toro tartare and seared toro with foie gras and uni are absolute must-haves every time—the uni is such high quality (AAA grade) and incredibly fresh.

Those thoughtful touches made our night the perfect start to the weekend.

Looking forward to the next visit!“

“Best sushi I have ever had.“

“I love this place. The sushi is excellent, but it's a more relaxed and approachable atmosphere than other omakase places. And even better is that there are multiple counters and tables so you're actually able to get a reservation rather than competing for just a dozen seats per night. 😄 Really, though, the food and service are great. I have taken multiple groups here on business dinners, and we always have an excellent meal. And the service is so attentive - for example, they noticed my friend was left handed so they reoriented her plate (we were at a table, not the counter) to accommodate her on every course. I also recommend getting the beverage pairing to go with your omakase courses. The sommelier does a great job.“

“Great place with a decent price. I’m biased towards scallop so that’s always great. The Amberjack was better than most places here and their Wagyu piece as well! It completely melted off my tongue. I only dock one star because the Uni was a bit unfresh as we were getting the last few pieces from the box, so it may have been older.“

“I thought I liked sushi before, I had no idea how much I loved authentic sushi until DomoDomo. The salmon tataki is delicious, the Spicy Tuna Cones are an absolute must (you’ll thank me) and the desserts are a fusion of tastes I haven’t before had but now must have again. Leo is the best server, these dishes were his idea. Thank you for an amazing night DomoDomo!“

“This place is a gem! Service is fantastic, the atmosphere was very comfortable and intimate yet fun. There’s only a small group at omakase with you :) And the food… it feels like the chefs are creating art in front of you. A beautiful experience!“

“An extraordinary omakase experience.“

“Chef Andy was excellent!👍“

“Such a lovely sushi bar! I told the chef that I really love scallops, and he kindly suggested that I try their secret chirashi bowl. When I saw it, I honestly didn’t even want to touch it at first because it looked so beautiful and carefully arranged — like a piece of art. But after the first bite, I understood why he recommended it. The scallops were incredibly fresh and sweet, and the toro was rich, fatty, and buttery. Every piece tasted amazing. What really surprised me was the rice — perfectly seasoned and textured, honestly omakase-level sushi rice, which made the whole bowl even better.
You can really tell the chef puts a lot of care into every detail. Such a thoughtful little hidden gem. I’ll definitely be back! 🍣“

“This is Crazy ... like I love sushi 🍣 ... I've been in so many places just for sushi that I think I'm a professional testing them all ❤️ , but what I just got tonight , the best sushi I've ever have had ... it's without a doubt the best Sushi in the US , no enough with that , my wife thought the same ..., talking about the personal , they are very professional , they come over you front time to time to ask you how are you doing , even the boss was around asking , it means a lot , they really make you feel special and in home ... definitely I suggest to you if you're visiting NY“

“Simply superb. The fish and shellfish are pristine. The chefs are skilled and approachable. The servers are helpful and gracious. While not “inexpensive,” I believe it’s a value for what is delivered. I’ve been three times—just last night for the first time, I’m sorry to say, since COVID—and each time was exquisite. Beyond highly recommended. A treasure.“

“This place just opened 6 months ago but the omakase is incredible. 75$ for 13 courses with the different combinations and flavors they put together with the freshest ingredients is hard to come by. If you are going to a Broadway show or are near time square and want a memorable omakase experience to round out your night you can’t go wrong here. I highly recommend it. The cost and location for the incredible experience can’t be beat. Our favorite bites were the shrimp and foie gras and the lean tuna with truffle mushroom. On top of that the environment is an intimate sushi bar setting with just 20 seats so you can see the sushi artist in action from any seat you’re in. 10/10 will definitely be back as soon as we can.“

“I have been to Douska a number of times, and keep coming back for their exceptional hand rolls. Fish quality has always been excellent, and I especially love the snapper.“

“14 course omakase for an hour“

“Nam's Sushi is quite simply the best! Sherry is a great lady! I go there at least once or twice a week! The food is excellent. If you want some great sushi, please go to Nam's Sushi! The food is incredible and the people who work there are so friendly! I love Nam's so much!“

“Excellent and comfortable affordable“

“Went to Choo Choo Train with five friends. Ordered Miso Salmon entree and it was delicious. Salmon was grilled perfectly, broccoli and carrots were cooked well and still crunchy, and mashed sweet potatoes were yummy. Cannot say enough about food and attentive service. Will return...no doubt!“

“A conveyer beltesque all you can eat sushi spot in flatiron. Was not very packed during lunch, dishes came out pretty quickly. The cute robot brought over water, place is pretty spotless.

You can order 4 items at a time on the tablet, which will be delivered on the top level of belts from the prep station behind a curtain. The sushi are good proportion though not great quality. Tried a variety of dishes like ramen, miso soup, katsu, salads and handrolls. Was stuffed at the 1hr mark, well worth the price.“

“Exceptional goods/services from EXCEPTIONAL people.

It makes me very happy that this exists in a town/area that means a lot to myself and many others.

I encourage everyone reading this, whether you are in the mood for food, milk tea, or other treats, they have you covered here and with a smile and great conversations.

Bless the owners of this establishment that have spent their lives making the lives of others better via their hard work and tasty recipes!!!“

“Consistently one of the best omakase’s I’ve had in NYC. (And I’ve been to a lot!). The quality of fish, rice, and ingredients is top tier. Fish is seasonal, comes from Japan, and sourced by Chef Mark himself. You can tell chef cares about his craft—he even makes his own soy sauce. Incredible value.“

“The food was fresh. I tried a mix of sushi, rolls, and a few hot dishes, and everything tasted amazing. What really stood out to me was the service, Maria. Even though it was busy, Maria was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything ran smoothly, which I appreciated. I also love how easy it is to grab what you want or order from the screen“

“Delightful! We were in early after a day of hoofing all over mid-town. We were greeted by our server and seated immediately (like I said, It was early) but un-rushed as we reviewed our options. We both ordered sushi-sashimi combinations as well as gyoza to keep it light. All excellent! The fish was so fresh and perfectly sliced/prepared. An avocado green salad was crisp, fresh and more than enough. The gyoza was obviously made with care, moist and tender. My wine accompaniment rounded out our meal. Our server was charming and helpful“

“Truly one of the best breweries in the country, innovative, beer excellence. Not to be missed!“

“Chef Yee was an absolutely amazing artist and story teller. The omakase experience was incredible, I highly recommend this curated tasting menu to anyone. It is not only affordable but had such fresh and delicious quality to the seafood. Everything was prepared with great attention to detail. The Chef was great to speak with and made my entire party feel very welcome, it was a very organic and positive time.

I will definitely be back. Great customer service, hospitality and the food was spectacular.

Please book an omakase with the head chef and definitely sit bar side for the best authentic experience!“

“Really nice people and excellent sushi! Cute little place for a date and its byob“

“I got so lucky when I randomly stumbled upon this place while getting lunch at work. As someone who loves chicken teriyaki trust me when I say you must try theirs. I have been searching for the last few years all around the bergen county area for the best chicken teriyaki and I have found it here. This is my absolute favorite! I have tried probably 50+ restaurants and nothing can beat this. From the way they prepare chicken, to the homemade sauce they use, the perfectly cooked rice and the avocado, egg and dumplings they add on.... it is one of the greatest combinations i've ever tasted. On top of that, their sushi is always delicious and fresh. If thats not enough, they also have fantastic owners and workers there. I always get a warm greeting, and they're thankful for my patronage. Fantastic all around. I will be back soon... My favorite sushi spot!“

“Had a delicious omakase dinner at Shinn East. Got gluten free options, which was great. Service was impeccable until the end. The 60 minute turnover is real and they kicked me out. Had an early dinner to make it to a jazz show at the Blue Note. There was a group an hour earlier who stayed s whole other hour (my reservation time was not full). But when my time was up, they whooshed me out. It was abrupt and unexpected since the other group kmhad lingered. I get it. It filled up at the peak hour quickly. But all that being said, the food was delicious and service up until then was excellent. I had a lovely sake with my meal. Just be aware that if you come at peak time, be prompt. Will return.“

“We loved our 14 course meal and had fun during the ayce portion!! 💗 Also shoutout to our sushi chef who was so quick and attentive (unfortunately I did not get his name). We found out afterwards that they were short staffed one chef during our service, but we didn’t notice at all since it was such a smooth experience. Also wanted to shoutout Alan, the other sushi chef who chatted with us afterwards–great energy and super nice guy ☺️“
